Beagle - there is no 'Flying Order Book' at Brize & hasn't been since the move of the C130 there - the rules are contained in BZAOs - pedantic perhaps but it serves to cast doubt on the veracity of the story that you heard as you no doubt weren't there.
When we first arrived C130 circuit height was 1000 ft agl while the 'big jets' flew 1500 ft ones. After only a short interval & enough whinging from the locals all ccts were raised to the common height. So the 'well primed village spokesman' was perhaps not so well-primed as he / you thought.
